In a glowing review from Indie Grid, Blueprint Tokyo’s Neon Circuits and the Mission of Hope is praised as “romantic, restless, and ready to be heard at full volume.” The piece celebrates the band’s ability to “flirt with nostalgia” while creating “something that feels utterly fresh and exciting.”

From the shimmering opener “Say Anything” to the sweeping cinematic textures of “Stranger Things,” the review highlights the album’s genre-blurring ambition and emotional resonance. “It’s less a playlist and more a map,” they write, “one that charts where the band has been, but more importantly, where they’re headed.”

With its fluid pacing and meticulous craft, Neon Circuits stands as a confident, immersive debut that “moves like a memory and hits like a live show.”
